✨Today we celebrate, honor, and uplift the transgender members of our community.

✨On Trans Day of Visibility, we recognize the beauty and value of trans lives—today and every day. You are seen, you are valued, and you belong.

We also honor the roots of Pride itself. The modern LGBTQia2s+ movement was sparked by the Stonewall uprising, led in large part by trans women of color and gender-nonconforming people who stood up against injustice and ignited a global fight for liberation.

With pride and solidarity,
Bainbridge Pride🏳️‍⚧️🫶

Okay okay… we know, we’ve been a little quiet over here 👀🌈
But we’re back, baby, and we’ve got something special to share...

We’re so excited to introduce this year’s Bainbridge Pride Team and our 2026 theme: “Rooted in Pride.” 🌿

Here’s how we landed on this year’s theme… Pride really begins right here at home with our community, our shared roots, and the people who keep showing up for each other day in and day out. That includes both longtime islanders and those who’ve found their way here and helped shape what this celebration has become. Being “rooted” means staying connected to where we come from while growing together, taking care of one another, lifting each other up with love, and making sure everyone has a place to belong, because at the end of the day, isn’t that what we’re all about? Can i get an Amen?!🌿🌈

This year's BI Pride Team is a group of dedicated volunteers, islanders who care deeply about this community and are ready to put this island party in the park together 🌈. If you know how much time these volunteers put into this event then you know It’s truly a labor of love, grown from the ground up with heart, time, and a whole lot of pride.

You’ll definitely see some familiar faces:
Derek Villanueva (He/Him) is bringing the energy with live entertainment and that strong sense of community connection we all love.

Lyn Flowers (She/Her) is the one making it all happen behind the scenes keeping things moving and making sure everything for the festival comes together.

✨ And we are beyond excited to welcome Heather McLain (She/Her), founder of Poulsbo Pride, to the team! She’s bringing a spark you can feel, bold passion, unstoppable energy, and that kind of magic that lights up a whole community. This year just got a whole lot brighter because she’s here 🌈🔥

This year’s Bainbridge Pride Festival is happening again at Waterfront Park on Saturday, June 20, 2026 so please mark your calendars and can’t wait to see you there!

Stay tuned… we’ve got some amazing talent to announce 👀🌈
